FILMING of Brad Pitt’s latest Hollywood blockbuster could be coming to Flintshire.

Zombie action film World War Z is currently being filmed in Glasgow, where the A-list icon and his partner Angelina Jolie have decamped with their entourage.

And, according to Flintshire County Council coastal ranger Mike Taylor, the high-profile pair could grace the county with their presence.

It is believed movie bosses are debating whether to shoot scenes for the apocalyptic drama in Mostyn’s historic Duke of Lancaster, which beached at Llanerch-y-Mor in 1979.

Plans to turn the former passenger ferry and cruise ship into a ‘fun ship’ with restaurants and arcades never came to fruition, and the once-popular vessel has been left to rust ever since – making it an ideal backdrop for the tale of humanity’s battle against the living dead.

Mike said: “The county’s legal officers were approached by the film company a while ago.

“There was talk of me conducting a site meeting for them and showing them potential sites along the coast.”

World War Z tells the story of survivors from a zombie war that almost wiped out humankind.

It is told from the perspective of survivors from across the world who fought off the influx of zombies taking over the planet.

Filming has so far taken place in Malta, on a ship in Falmouth, Cornwall, and in Scotland.

“Plans are on hold at the moment I believe,” added Mike. “But they could still happen. It’s exciting. I hope they do film here – I would love to be a zombie ranger!”

The film, which has a budget of about $125m, is due to be released in December 2012.

The Duke of Lancaster is owned by Liverpool-based company Solitaire. Solitaire and film-maker Paramount Pictures did not want to comment.
